Jdub2k1 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Anyone heard/played this organ? It is a dual-manual organ clone similar to the Korg BX3. It appears to have waterfall keys and optional pedals. I stumbled upon doing a search for midi drawbars for my Voce V5. I read reviews and it seems to be a good value (around $2000). If anyone does know about it, could it be used to control both drawbars and pedals for my Voce V5 module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegerardi Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Our venerable moderator has one, but he's at NAMM for the next few days. He'll probably reply when he gets back, but I remember him saying he loves his. ..Joe Setup: Korg Kronos 61, Roland XV-88, Korg Triton-Rack, Motif-Rack, Korg N1r, Alesis QSR, Roland M-GS64 Yamaha KX-88, KX76, Roland Super-JX, E-Mu Longboard 61, Kawai K1II, Kawai K4.

Alesis stuff: Quadrasynth Plus QS8 DG8 NanoBass two QSRs two DM Pros (w/DM Pro drumkit) an Ion and two Andromedas. Non Alesis keyboards: Yamaha S90 Kurz K2000 Oberheim OB5 MiniMoog I also have an old Korg CX3 that lives in a case in the garage....

Jdub2k1 Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: Yeah, I have one. What do you want to know? dBCool... I want to know how this sounds compared to other organ clones, such as the Voce V5, Korg CX3/BX3, Roland VK8, NIB4, etc. How does the percussion compare? Leslie? Authenticity? And Finally, do you think I would be able to use this organ to control my Voce V5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can tell you is that it sounds quite good to me - I really like it a lot. Very authentic... The funny thing is that the other Viscount/Oberheim organ clones (OB3, OB3/2) don't sounds very good to me, but I'm told that the OB5 uses different technology than the other two. How does the percussion compare? Leslie? Authenticity?Once again, I didn't do comparisons. I can only tell you that I'm quite pleased with pretty much every aspect of the thing -it's quite authentic sounding. Steve Fortner played it, and according to him it sounds as good (if not better) than his VK7. And Finally, do you think I would be able to use this organ to control my Voce V5?No idea. I only play it in live situations, so I don't really know how good its MIDI implementation is. However, I do feeel it safe to say that you probably wouldn't need to do that...it really sounds very good. Hope that helps some... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
